Collaborative Skills Therapy (CST)
Specialized OCD & Anxiety Treatment
Living with OCD or anxiety can feel exhausting. Intrusive thoughts, constant worry, uncertainty, and self-doubt can begin to shape everyday decisions and keep you from fully engaging in the life you want to live.
I specialize in the treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), anxiety disorders, phobias, and related conditions using evidence-based approaches, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
My goal is to help you break free from cycles of fear and avoidance, build confidence in your ability to tolerate uncertainty, and reconnect with what matters most to you. Treatment is collaborative, individualized, and tailored to your unique goals and experiences.
Whether you’re struggling with OCD, panic, health anxiety, emetophobia, perfectionism, or life transitions, therapy can help you move toward lasting change—not just temporary relief.
You don’t have to wait for anxiety to disappear before living the life you want.
Our Approach
CST prioritizes ensuring that all clients understand the approach being used in their treatment because clear communication about methodology fosters transparency, trust, and collaboration.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT emphasizes identifying and challenging negative thinking patterns, fostering healthier coping mechanisms, and encouraging behavioral modifications to enhance overall mental health.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
DBT is a therapeutic approach that focuses on skill development to help individuals apply mindfulness, regulate emotions, improve interpersonal relationships, and navigate distressing situations.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT encourages individuals to accept their thoughts and feelings, commit to actions aligned with their values, and develop psychological flexibility for improved mental well-being.
Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP)
ERP is a therapeutic technique that involves systematically confronting anxiety provoking stimuli or situations while refraining from engaging in compulsive behaviors.
Therapy isn’t just about insight-it’s about learning new ways to respond to fear, anxiety, and life’s challenges so that meaningfulchange can occur outside the therapy room.
